Shakespeare troupe tackles "Hot Flash Club"

Tuesday

If there is one thing island author Nancy Thayer and William Shakespeare have in common, it is that their works have both been the muse of Nantucket’s own Seaside Shakespeare.

Founder Susan McGinnis and company will hit the stage Wednesday at The Chicken Box nightclub for a staged-reading adaptation of Thayer’s New York Times best-selling novel “The Hot Flash Club” for a one-night benefit performance.

In an effort to raise money for their performances of the Bard’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” this summer, McGinnis said the show will be similar in presentation to her theater company’s several stagings of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues.”
